A propos de cet article

London: Henry S. King, 1873. First edition. viii,198pp.,(+32pp. publisher's catalogue). §Krishnamurti (Supplement) 21. The author's sole published volume of verse. As a poet, Marzials was poised between the Pre-Raphaelites and the Fin de Siècle (John Betjeman's interest in him - he gave a radio talk on Marzials in 1950, and lent his own copy of 'The Gallery of Pigeons' to the Krishnamurti exhibition - reflecting the latter, in particular). Original dark green cloth, gilt lettering and decoration. Lower fore-edge corners bumped. Careful repair to head of spine, some general surface marking to covers (spine unaffected). A good copy with the author's ink presentation inscription to the writer Edward Plater to title-page (small closed tear above the 'a' of Edward). Later ink ownership name, c.1920, of one Charles Davies facing title. Page 149 bears an additional (third) stanza to an untitled bagatelle (first line: 'The wanton bee that suck'd the rose') in an early pencilled hand that appears to be that of the author; certainly the lines are in keeping and of suitable authenticity. The quatrains in the printed portion of the bagatelle rhyme ABAB, the manuscript stanza ABCB; however this is in keeping with the poetical practice of Marzials: for example, the following bagatelle (same page & over) rhymes ABCB, ABAB, ABCB, ABAB; and the final of the three bagatelles (p.150), ABCB, ABAB. The poem in question is reprinted as originally published in the sole modern edition of Marzials, 'Selected Poems' edited by John M. Munro, and in at least one anthology of the day. Whether in the author's hand (as it appears) or not, the manuscript stanza is almost certainly genuine & probably previously unrecorded.…
